I'm trying to get the month separate and numerical date separate like so:

09
September

I want to put it in a calendar looking image, number on top- month on the bottom, but system.date doesnt output the look I want. Is this possible?

I guess the only way you can achieve this it by the use of SubString(info,string,[Left or Right]) but it's going to be lots of conditions.

ie

To get the 1st day of the month you'd need -


Months are easier of course -

How would you do just Monday, Tuesday, etc?

From the strings.xml -


Obviously it would be easier if we could just get the day, date, month and year values separately at the skin level but that's for Jonathan to comment on.

maybe something like that

to format the time

Thanks Hitcher I'll keep this bookmarked, my project wont be done for awhile so hopefully a simpler solution pops up like:

System.Date(Month)
System.Date(Day)
System.Date(DayofWeek)

This really ties a look I want together so I do need it, Hopefully I wont have to do it the long way...

@Hitcher

So is the reason you included 10-19 when checking for the #1 is it'll return true based on the beginning 1 in 10-19?

So for the number 2 I would need to have it !visible for 20-29 then the same for 30 and 31 for the #3...

That's how I think it'll work, yes.
